CRTC praised for making French-language channels available across Canada

Under PN 2001-25, distributors serving more than 2,000 subscribers with digital capacity of 750 MHz or more will be required to carry all French-language Canadian specialty services and at least one pay TV service. The recently licensed Category 2 digital specialty channels and pay-per-view services are not included in the policy.
